Reader Wedding at Chateau Rive at The Flour Mill

It’s always a good day when I get to post a reader wedding, it’s an even better day when I get to share a venue we’ve never featured before! This is Jennifer and Kevin’s wedding at Chateau Rive at the Flour Mill by Prior Moments Photography. Chateau Rive is a historic venue with amazing views located near downtown Spokane, I’m delighted to finally showcase it on AB!

Kevin and Jennifer put a lot of thought into every detail of their big day, here’s what Jennifer had to say:

“As soon as Kevin and I saw Chateau Rive at the Flour Mill we fell in love with the venue. It offers indoor and outdoor options which is perfect for Spokane’s unpredictable weather. Lucky for us the sun came out as soon as our ceremony began so I had my outdoor spring wedding with the Spokane River as a background. Our reception was held steps away inside of the venue which looks like a castle with stone walls, wood pillars and chandeliers.

We handmade our programs which included a crossword puzzle about us as well as a celtic tree horoscope. I fit subtle celtic details throughout the wedding and reception with a handfasting ceremony, cladaugh charms on our toasting glasses, hidden claddaughs inside or our rings and a bagpiper.

Our friends and family helped us so much to make this wedding exactly what I wanted. The groom’s mom sewed all of the table toppers, friends made cupcake signs and helped setup all of the decorations.

Jennifer was such a fun bride to work with. She was easy to communicate with in regards to her wedding day look.
I’m so happy to see these pictures. Looks like everything turned out amazing.
Love the venue, just stunning.

I really want to thank all of my vendors. They were amazing and really helped to make our day perfect. To all of the staff at Chateau Rive – thank you. You made the planning fun, you were excellent listeners and very creative. James is an amazing bagpiper and made the day so special. Flawless Salon was so patient with me as I changed up my look on the day of the wedding because of the weather (windy). Plus I got to schedule my trial on the day of my bachelorette party so I was all dolled up twice. Becky and Matt Prior were amazing photographers and we will be lifelong clients and friends as we just fell in love with their work and with them as people. Sweet Frostings makes the yummiest cake and we chose hummingbird (my choice) and orange creamsicle (my husband’s choice), both were amazing. Our DJ was able to pull off a suprise for my dad. My dad wanted “I loved her first” but he always sang Puff the Magic Dragon every night before tucking me in and DJ Storm was able to morph my dad’s choice into my choice and it choked up my dad. Great surprise Norm! Thanks for helping me pull it off! And to everyone, thank you so much!
